Andrew came prepared.
He received a call from a senior BBC executive quite suddenly, asking him to prepare for an interview with Stephen that evening.
Andrew knew this was his chance to make a name for himself.
In reality, high-end talk shows rarely achieve high levels of popularity.
For TV hosts, popularity and income are strongly correlated.
Of course, hosts of high-end talk shows can enjoy a certain premium.
But Andrew also hopes to increase his fame.
I hope to expand the boundaries of my career.
After watching the press conference at 10 Downing Street, he knew that all of London's anger was focused on the current government.
Combined with public opinion and the slogans of the crowds outside, he could only win the broadest support by standing with the majority of Londoners.
Even if helping the Boris Johnson government to smooth things over brings fame, it will be negative, and he will most likely be despised by all the people of London and even England.
So when he was preparing for the evening interview in the afternoon, he was prepared to make things difficult for Stephen, or rather, to target him.
To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Andrew specifically asked a BBC executive before the interview. The executive replied: "Go ahead and ask. Boris is already too busy to handle his own problems."
The BBC was founded in the 1920s.
Boris Johnson belongs to the Conservative Party of England, which can be understood as right-wing.
To put it simply, the concepts of left and right in Western countries are quite different from those in the Chinese context.
The BBC has long been accused of leaning to the left, which is the opposite of the Conservative Party.
The earliest instance can be traced back to the 1980s, when the BBC's coverage of the Falklands War, launched by England, angered the then Conservative government.
They produced a documentary called "Maggie's Belligerent Tendencies," which linked Conservative MPs with far-right organizations.
This accusation has persisted to this day, with Conservative ministers publicly boycotting BBC Radio 4 programs in 2020.
It was also during this period that 14 Conservative MPs jointly wrote a letter to the then-inaugurating BBC Director General, accusing them of biased reporting.
After Boris Johnson won the election, he publicly threatened not to support the legalization of the BBC licensing fee.
It can be said that the entanglement between the Conservative Party and the BBC has lasted for more than forty years.
As for why Boris Johnson would still send Stephen to appear on the BBC program despite the conflict between the two sides.
This is similar to the situation where China dislikes the BBC, but the Chinese ambassador to England still has to participate in the BBC's "Andrew Neal Interview".
You cannot abandon this public opinion battleground just because you have a conflict with the other party.
Stephen was stumped; he didn't know what to say.
Because Merlin's magic and London's magic are not from the same system, this is also a confidential matter.
It's difficult to grasp the right balance, and the more you talk, the more wrong you become.
Furthermore, he was arrested immediately after leaving the studio.
Stephen's face still flushed as he pondered, a sign that blood was rushing to his brain.
"I'm sorry, I can only say that this is not the same thing, but I cannot disclose more information at this time due to confidentiality requirements."
“Every country has its own secrets, secrets that cannot be made public, right?”
After he finished speaking, Stephen looked sincerely at the camera, trying to create a sense of trustworthiness for the viewers in front of the television and live streaming platforms.
Andrew asked, "I completely understand that sometimes we need to keep things confidential."
But now London has reached a dangerous point. As you just mentioned, the widespread dissemination of magic is something none of us have ever faced before.
"Approximately ten million Londoners will be able to learn magic. In matters of magic, I believe the need for secrecy cannot outweigh the need to explore a new order that coexists with magic."
Stephen nodded and said, "I'm sorry, but it's not up to me to decide what information I can and cannot share."
I will bring up your idea at the meeting later, and if everyone agrees, we will release more information.
Andrew continued, "What caused all of this to happen?"
Merlin? Or has a new legendary mage appeared in history, Morgana?
Compared to the host, Stephen didn't dare mention Merlin's name at all, for fear of being cursed by Merlin.
Merlin's curse is most intimidating because it can be cast regardless of spatial distance.
The prominent figures of America who were subjected to the spell back then were not in the same space.
However, the time they felt they lost their happy mood varied by no more than a minute.
Stephen: "I don't know, that's something we'd like to figure out."
If any citizen makes any discoveries, please report them through Magic London.
After its release, the Magic London app quickly topped the charts on both the iOS and Google Play Stores.
The download enthusiasm was much higher than that of the app that England was promoting to record movement at the time.
It's not just users in London who have downloaded it; users all over England are downloading the app.
Although we can't go to London right now, we'll need it sooner or later.
It's never a bad thing to learn in advance.
Andrew continued, "Are you sure there isn't a wizarding world like the one in Harry Potter in London?"
